Chinese stock funds attracted $4.4 billion in 8 days, fueling speculation of a state-run buying-spree

• Just four Chinese ETFs have attracted $4.4 billion in inflows over just eight trading days.
• The FT reported growing speculation about a state-run buying spree.
• Beijing's "national team," or state-affiliated institutions, could be intervening to prop up the market.

Chinese markets could be in the midst of a state-fueled boost as four exchange-traded funds see huge inflows over the last two weeks, according to a report from the Financial Times.
